IMPORTANT DECISION.
The New York Stock Exchange Must Give
the Public Its Quotations.

The New York Stock Exchange Must Give
the Public Its Quotations.
NEW YORK, May 1O.-The decision of
Judge Dykman in the suit of the Consoli-
dation Exchange to compel the CONNER
Cial Telegraph Company to furnish it with
the operations of the Stock Exchange and
to compel the Stock Exchange to furnish
it's quotations to the Commercial Com
pany, according to agreement between
them, Is an important one in all its bear
ing, not only to the parties interested but
to the entire public. The Stock Exchange
has always claimed to be q private insti-
tuition. 1t has no public charter. It is
formed like club, and its members are
bound only by the laws they have made
themselves. The exchange is governed
by q committee, to which is delegated a5-
solute power and which meet in secret.
1t legislates On matters affect
ing the financial world, but
the public, it is held, is not entitled to
any information about the meetings. The
Exchange holds that the quotations made
within It's doors are its own absolutely
Judge Dykman's decision just reVerses
this theory Of the Stock Exchange. In
stead of being a private institution, he
declares it to be public institution.
Speaking of the Stock Exchange, he says
the quotations from the Stock Exchange
furnish q standard of value for the guild
ance and control Of trust companies and
savings institutions, for trustees and exc
CutOrs and for private investors. The
great paramount Importance, therefore,
of such sales seem to stamp them with
public interest end bring them under the
general power and dominion exercised By
the Legislature and courts over all
public empIGyments. Such was the
doctrine enunciated in the Chicago ware
house cases, and such is the underlying
principle of alI modern legislation both
federal and state, for the regulation of
trade and commerce, whether in the
hands of public bodies or private persons.
If the New York Stock Exchange was
joint stock association conducted as it is
now the right of interference by the
courts OF the Legislature for its regula
ton would be unquestiOnable, but the
same power may be exercised for the reg
ulation and conduct of private citizens in
the transaction of their business or use
OF their property whenever its exercise
becomes necessary for the well
fare of the public, The character
of the business transacted at the Stock
Exchange concerns the public interest, it
is of great concern to the public and so
becomes invested with and seems to be
within the constitutional authority of the
courts of equity. In the silence of legis-
lative enactment to compel and enforce
publicity of quotations 1t is in subordina-
ton to the interests of the public.

Hard on the MugNump.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Federal club
is new social political organization re-
Gently formed in this city. 1t was started
about five months ago and its member
ship now numbers 100. It is likely to
be rival to the Republican club which
not long ago gave dinner and an oppor-
tunity to Governor Foraker of Ohio to
make q speech. The Federal club
gave banquet tonight at Delmonico's
to Theo 0. Roosevelt. This was the
clubs first Introduction to the public and
the officers made the most of it. Accord
ing to the World this morning, trouble
has already entered the doors of the new
club. 1t is said that Roosevelt objected
to invitations being sent to French, Elk
ing and Dorsey.
One of the committee, so the story
goes, said: 1'What the matter with
Elkins?''
"Blaine had a Belshazzar feast" Mr..
Roosevelt is reported to have said. 81
can't afford to have one. We are not
Blaine men, anyway; we are against
Blaine.''
Senator Dorsey was seen at the Fifth
Avenue hotel last night and asked con-
corning the affair. SIT is q matter I
know nothing about" said he. HElkins
and are not on what would be called
friendly terms, but l am frank to say if
there is a Republican dinner anywhere,
or of any kind, to any one that
ne can't attend, it is no place for any Re
publican. 1t appears that the time has
come when the line must be drawn.
Buddhism can't cantrOl the politics of the
'ealntry where the people have more re-
gaN5 for sense than fer pretentions, and
where presumption has never been mis-
taken for any length of time for sold
weFsh. If this little person to whom some
unW1se people are giving a dinner
was not SO pulled up and exag-
gerated in his own conceit, he would
remember that the man who has sawed
wood under a No. 6 hat, when he comes
to be member OF the Assembly wants to
wear No. 8. 1t is nevertheless
annoying that person such

An AppsaI for Finds,

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, Tx, May 11.-In the prohibit
ton campaign the ants ere beginning to
move for providing the "sinews of war"
to-wit, money. The following appeal to
''all anti-prohibltionists" is promulgated
to-day:
ROOMS OF STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
WACO, TEX, May 10, 1857. !
Frequent suggestions are being made
as to the conduct of the canvass, all of
which involve the expenditure of money.
| desire to say to the friends of anti
prohibition throughout the state, that no
funds have been furnished me for cam
p9tgn purposes, and that for this reason
| am unable to respond TO these sugges-
tons. We need funds with which to pay
for necessary printing and publications,
and other legitimate expenses of the
canvass, and l know of no other way
Of raising these funds except by the
voluntary contributions of our friends
throughout the state This is g fight Of
the people for the maintenance of their
institutions, and we need expect no out
side help. It can be won without pur-
chase, and is not worth winning if it
mus be bought. No heavy expenditures
are necessary or proper, but the eXecu-
tive committee should b. furnished with
sufficient money to defray unavoidable
expenses. Contributions may be sent to

tiOnal Bank, who viii act as treasurer for

The JACKSON TRAGEDY.
The Assassination of the Editor of Sword
and Shield Bitterly Denounced.


and Shield Bitterly Denounced.
JACKSON, MISS, May 1.-THE New
Mississippian, published by Martin Bros.
in the same building where the Sword
and Shield (Gambrell's paper is pub
lished, came out with two-column edl-
torial on the tragedy. The headings are
fair index to the entire article. They read
as follows: "The Slaughter of RID. Gam
brell-COlonel James Hamilton with Four
Accessories Hunt down the Brave Young
Editor of the Sword and Shield and Sur
round and Murder Him in the Night {"
The whole affair is then treated of in the
strongest possible language, concluding
as follows: sit is not improbable that
soon another shot will ring out in the
night and another coroner's jury go into
their solemn work, bat if the men who
have recently done their awful deed
think they can place their bloody
hand over those papers which have
determined to speak out aDd muzzle and
terrify them. they have erred. The Sword
and Shield will 60 on in its warfare for
truth and over the grave of this hero that
paper will go out with erraignments of
the guilty as terrible as before. There
are three editors on this paper and each
one is willing to lay down his life if it
must be, rather than to falter in
journalistic duty and be prevented
from publicly advocating principles it
has honestly cherished, and then some
one holder and Drawer than we will take
hold of the paper we have left and carry
the struggle on and on with bitter and
awful conviction Of the inviucibillty
of right against the wrong The Sword
and Shield, the dead editor's paper, will
appear to-day, and there is great interest
felt as to what it will say.

mable. At Teraczko 800 houses were
burned and four lives lost. The con-
fagration lasted two days. At Ruskburg

Spread to Louisiana.

special 10 the GaZeLte.
NEW ORLEANS, La, May 1.-THE pro-
hibition movement which has prevailed
so strong in Texas and Mississippi has
spread to Louisiana, and is receiving
much encouragement from the negroes.
A call has been read in the negro churches
in this city for prohibition convention
to meet in the st. Charles Avenue
Methodist church, May SO and June l, fof
the purpose of permanent organization
OF the colored people of Louisiana TO
break up the liquor traffic. Each church
and each temperance organization is
asked to send two delegates, one man
and one woman. The exact object of the
convention, beyond the forming of pro-
hibition organization, is not mentioned il
the call, but the probabilities are that
when the prohibitionistS, white and black
are fully organized, they will demand a
submission of the question of prohibit
ton to popular vote, at least, of the
parishes, if not of the state.

A METEOR Al SEA.
The Thrilling Experiences of the Crew CT a
Dutch Bark.

The Thrilling Experience of the Grew CT a
Dutch Bark.
New YORK, May Captain Swart Of
the Dutch, bark j. P. a. bound for Quebec
and now in this port, told remarkable
story to-day of the vessels recent ex-
perience at sea. On March 10 the bark,
while in latitude 81 49, north and longi-
tude 81 west, experienced e severe
storm. About O'Clock in the afternoon
meteor was observed flying
through the air. Il presented the ap
pearance OF two balls. One was very
black and the other brightly nlumi-
mated. The latter appeared as if ready
to drop on board amidships. The vessel
was hove to under storm sails and the
meteor dropped into the sea close along
side, making in its flight tremendous
roaring noise. Before falling into the
water the upper atmosphere was suddenly
darkened, while below and on board
everything appeared like sea Of fire.
The force Of the meteor on striking the
water caused the latter to form
heavy breakers which sweep. over the yes
sci, rocking her fearfulIy. At the same
time such a sufficating atmosphere was
caused as 10 force perspiration to run
down the faces of all on board and greatly
oppressed their breathing from the greaL
amount of sulphur in the air. Immedi-
ately after solid Jumps OF ice fell on the
deck, and the decks and rigging became
covered with an icy crust caused by the
immense evaporation, Notwithstanding
the fact that the thermom-
eter registered slxty-six degrees.
The barometer during the phenomenon
oscillated violently, so that no reading
could be taken. After close examination
of the vessel and rigging no damage was
found Oh deck, but on the side where the
meteor fell into the water the vessel ap-
peared all black, and some of the copper
sheathing was terribly blistered. The
affair was followed by an increase of the
wind to hurricane fnrcR

reported, but many were seriously in
Jured. There was no cyclone, but the
wind was straight blast of from two to
ten hours duration. It is estimated that
the damage for the upper peninsular will
reach 100000. The shipping in the
harb RS was badly shaken up, but not
much damaged.
